Ham Radio, Dvorak's Influence on Leo Laporte
John C. Dvorak (K6LNG) claims he is responsible for the creation of the "Ham Nation" podcast, asserting that his own entry into ham radio incited Leo Laporte to do the same. Adam Curry criticizes "Ham Nation" as a boring show sponsored by ICOM that focuses on "old white dudes." The hosts exchange "73s" and discuss the terminology of "lids" (poor radio operators).
